DR.. Garre, of Basle, has suggested
that the characters of people might be
we'll diagnosed by their old shoes. Take
a shoe which has been worn for a couple
of months; if the sole and heel are
equally worn, it belongs toan energetic
man of business, trustworthy officer,
an exemplary wife, an excellent moth
er; if the outer edge only is worn. the
owner is of a fantastic, adventurous
tendency, rash and bold temper; if it
is the inner edge which is worn, the
fact indicates irresolution and. weak
ness in man, modesty in woman.
Such at least is the bold generalization
of DR.. Cares shoemaker, whose own
shoes one suspects must be worn on the
outside, and who also states that where
the wearer not only wears the outer
edge, but also rasps the point of his
shoes and leaves the rest almost new,
he isa person whose honesty is to be
suspected.-Me Athendeun,.

A Little Girls Letter TO Lamar.

A little girl eight years old, residing
at Gordon, Dakota, has written the fol-
lowing letter to Secretary Lamar. II
was printed on a small piece Of paper
with lead pencil, in style peculiar
only to children when they are writing
their first letters. Every letter is a
capital, and reads:
"AfR. LAMARs: Won't you please
decide the land case that is in your Of
flee now. Ma has to work out, and
Minnie is sick, and / have TO do the
work. am only eight years old. We
hain't no money, and Lige Moon is try
ing to get our claim. ADA FRENCH.
"Ma wants to get some money so we
can by some close and git a horse. 1t is
awful cold here at Mitchell, Dakota,
and we have to burn hay, can't hardly
keep warm. Good by.
Gordon, Dakota. ADA FRENCH"
The letter was referred to Commits
sioner Sparks, and went through the
routine of the Land Office, and an
official letter was written to the girl in
forming her that the Commissioners
had decided the claim in favor of her
mother, but an appeal had been made
to the Secretary of the Interior,
where it is now pending. The little
girl wrote another letter, similar to her
previous one, begging the Commission
er ITO get Mr.. Lamars to decide mas
case. Eige Moon," she says, told ma
that if you decided in mas favor he
would not give her any more trouble,
but Lige Moon lies"
This letter was also answered, and
the correspondence sent to the Secre.
tary to hurry his action.

The history of the fisheries of North Amer

the Biscayans have tradition that New

hardly probable.
The mackerel fishing grounds, lying of the
